Archos latest venture in the Android market is a gaming tablet. But it's not just any other portable tablet because the Archos GamePad actually comes with dedicated gaming controls. Not much is know of the Archos GamePad except that this 7-inch gaming tablet is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a quad-core Mali 400 MP graphics running Android 4.0 ICS. So we got the most popular variant of the Archos Android tablets this year, the Archos 70. There's a limited number of units available locally and release has been delayed twice but the local Archos distributor was able to get us a review unit. Having tried the bigger Archos 101, I must admit that the Archos 70 looks sleeker, thinner (much thinner than the Galaxy Tab or the Cherry Mobile Superion) and lighter. The only available units ready for this month would be the 8GB Archos 70 while the 250GB variant will be available by January. Although update is available via OTA, Archos recommends downloading the full update to a PC and then transfer via USB before upgrading.
